Keep Less notable webcomics have remained here.--Vercalos 05:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very Week Keep 119 google hits is actually pretty good for a webcomic if I recall, but I'm not a comic expert. Deckiller 05:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because nomination misunderstands the concept of unique google hits. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 05:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes I understand. mikka (t) 07:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to be difficult, but I'm not sure you do. "unique" Google hits are a nebulous concept, and of little to no value in judging the notability of a given topic much of the time. While very low or very high numbers might be meaningful, midrange numbers just don't tell you much. They absolutely don't mean that all results other than that number are duplicates or repeats. Anyway, I'm sorry if my original reply was terse, but nominations based on "unique" Google hits are one of my pet peeves :) I hope this clarifies my position. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 08:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For an "internet phenomenon", 119 is way below "midrange". My son's personal website has more google hits than that. mikka (t) 10:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Are you mixing/matching Google hits / "unique" Google hits? — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 09:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Nontrivial publishing. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 09:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you so want to keep it, please provide reputable 3-rd party references, as well as evidence of notability. Website itself and blogs do not count, as you know. mikka (t) 09:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It was one of the early Girlamatic comics, and is still being published there. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 10:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per all above. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Are the number of Google hits the only way to ascertain notability? There may be no Google hits for several notable things. We do not have google hits for all the Chief Ministers (past and the present) of Indian states and all the Vice Chancellors (past and the present) of all the Indian universities. Are they not notable? However, as I am aware of the nominator’s experience in such issues, I am voting a Delete. --Bhadani 15:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nonnotable. Not everything's notability can be determined by Google hits, but something that exists only on the Internet really can reasonably be judged by them. Angr/talk 09:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Adashiel. Kappa 09:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
